Marion: I think I'll go home, see what's in my fridge and in my cupboard and cook something up. I'm not sure what yet. Todd: Ah, you're gonna cook? Marion: Yeah, of course. Todd: Actually, I almost never cook. I cook maybe once or twice a year. Marion: Really? (Yeah) Well, what do you do then? What do you eat? Todd: Oh, I always eat out. I buy my dinner every night. I think it's just better. Marion: Oh, my God! Every night? Todd: Every night. Marion: How is it better, Todd? I don't understand. Todd: Well, I mean, I know it's a waste of money, but it, I look at it, it just saves me a lot of time (Right, OK) so I don't have to go buy the food, store the food, and prepare the food, and cook the food, then clean up afterwards. Marion: Yeah, I don't like that part so much. Todd: Right. When you just eat out, you know, it's quick and easy. It saves you time. Marion: Yeah, hmm, I think though, I can see what you're saying about the time factor but for me sometimes cooking is a way of almost relieving stress, you know, or if I'm thinking about the day that's gone by and maybe something has stressed me out, I'll just go to the kitchen, and as long as I'm on my own, cause I like to cook on my own, I don't have to talk to anybody, and I can think about things that are going on and while I'm shopping the onions, you know, or opening tins or whatever I'm doing, it's just a time for me where I don't have to think about anything else, really apart from the food I'm preparing and then if something floats into my mind, I can kind of deal with it at the same time. I find it quite relaxing. |
